A long way to go.

I'm starting to realize how far away I am from where I want to be as a digital photographer. When I read a lot of the other blogs I am amazed at all the knowledge people have with programs like photoshop, and how much is done with a photo after it is taken. But I will get there because the two things that I love and hate about myself is my thirst for knowledge, and mt stubbornness.

I understand how you feel. I, too, have a huge thirst for knowledge, but I tend to be stubborn when it comes to change. I would love to create some of the effects in the tutorials posted, but putting my stubbornness aside to learn something new has been a challenge!
